The hay and milking barn was the largest structure on the farm. A year or two, thankfully, before we bought it, a neighbor needing a location to store hay put on a new roof. Here he is starting to remove old shingles and lay down new plywood.

spring we were on the farm. Our friend Bruce Trca-Black helped us deliver nearly 12,500 lbs of metal to the salvage yard. Rick did a pretty good job of keeping those few things he thought would be useful. So far this has included a shovel head, chains, a pto shaft, an adjustable tractor lift arm and a wagon running gear.
